Hi,
I'm writing some PHP classes that I want to submit/upload to PEAR
(obviously, using PEPr, votes, etc..). These classes are focused in
Debian, I'm currently splitting them in two parts:
- User: Debian_Apt, Debian_File and Debian_BTS -Bug Tracking System-
- Devel: I don't have any classes currently but I'm thinking in writing
a Debian package creator and/or a package validator.
But I have some questions for releasing these packages:
I can release a Debian_Utils package that will have both parts (User and
Devel), but in the case of Debian_BTS it depends on another package
(Mail[2] package) and the Devel classes depend on another package
(File_Archive).
So, my question is: is there any conventions for splitting packages?
Should I split the packages by their dependencies so I should create
many PEPr(s):
* Package: Debian_Apt
* Package: Debian_File
* Package: Debian_BTS
* Package: Debian_Devel
* Package: Debian_Lintian
Or should I create just one package (Debian_Utils) and add a lot of
dependencies to it and don't care if a user needs to download Mail
package also if Debian_BTS is not going to be used by the user?.
